Hello, this is Doctor Percy Green and I'm writing this as a warning to all. You're not safe! You never really were in the first place, but I'm getting ahead of myself now. Let me explain, I work for the S.S.C.U. and I know you probably have not heard of it and I know it sounds like some made up place, but S.S.C.U. stands for "Supernatural Subject Containment Unit" and it is very real. I've worked here for ten years and I am in charge of the resident's health and well-being. Thinking about it, residents may not be the right word for who or what exactly we hold in here. The creatures and the people that live here are all prisoners, most of which are being kept here against their will. They are locked away to ensure the safety of the public and to stop mass hysteria from spreading all over the globe. Some of these entities seem to come straight from your nightmares. They are the reason you cannot sleep with your feet outside of the covers at night, the reason you feel you must close your closet door before going to bed. They are the monsters that had haunted your mind as a child and still spark fear in your subconscious to this day. Worst of all they are just as real as you and me. 

Some are worse than others, but even I must admit I've grown slightly attached to a couple of the more humane prisoners that I work with. Do not for a second think they all have the same morals as you and I; even the more humane creatures are still very dangerous, and when provoked and will kill you without batting an eye (if you are to get in their way). Some others contained here are very sadistic in nature, with a one-track mindset of killing and destroying people. You probably don't believe me, and I don't blame you. If someone would have told me what I am telling you, ten years ago, I would have thought they were crazy or on some type of drugs, but I now know how real these creatures are after working with them as much as I have. It's up to you, if you chose to believe me or not.

 I am telling you this as a warning, because there was a breach in our security system, which our lead security task force cannot figure out what caused the system to malfunction and allowed the specimens to escape. Every last one of them are gone from their cells like they were never there to begin with. During the breach all of the electronic locks shut down, (which they were not even suppose to be able to do), but the door to each cell was opened and the prisoners figured that out before we did. This information isn't surprising, as half of them here are smarter than an average human by a long shot. This doesn't change the fact they are all free now. Multiple people will die; there is no doubt about that or is there anyway of preventing mass casualties from happening now that all are free. 

 This is why I'm telling you this, why I'm warning you; the S.S.C.U. is going to try to cover this up. The government does not want people knowing about the entities we hold here... or used to hold. I know this warning will get me killed, but I refuse to let the truth die with me. They are gathering us all up now, everyone that works in the facility, because we know too much. I heard some higher-ups speaking moments after the breach took place. They plan to kill us soon with a lethal injection. We are just liabilities to the governments integrity now; there is no need for us since all the prisoners have escaped. Killing us will tie up any loose ends they have, as we would be the only proof that this facility ever existed after they destroy all the files. Then they can lie their way out of this and pretend it never happened. I cannot let that happen! Civilians deserve to know the truth. Under this I will attach two files, I've stolen from the command center. I have not read them, but I know they hold information on two residents that used to be in this facility... subjects 256 and 110. Do what you will with this information, but this is all I can give you. I will be dead before tomorrow and I've come to terms with that, but please don't let this information die with me. I guess this is goodbye for now.
